I will no longer continue to play your game Richard! People all I ask is that you do an internet search on this man before you consider buying from him! Richard Bakke... Elite Imports, oh I also forgot to mention he changes his company name from time to time. Elite Motor Imports, Elite Imports, Elite Automotive and who know what other name he's used. I have no benefit from my posting other than to hopefully prevent someone from going through the horrible experience I did.

False Statements
I am writing in response to this report.First of all we purchased the car from auction.Upon inspection we noticed the transmittion had an issue.Instead of selling it with a potential problem we addressed the problem and sold the vehicle with a 12 month warranty on the transmittion.Secondly I have signed odometer statements from where we purchased the vehicle and when we sold the the vehicle.This is clearly a false statement.As with every sale we suggest that the buyer have the vehicle checked over by a mechanic of their choice.The buyer test drove the car extensively before the purchase.If there was a bent wheel,of which the wheels are aluminium,it would have been very obvious.A fuel leak was never mentioned.If there had been a previous repair it was not done at our shop.This was never mentioned.Twenty years ago I had an employee who we caught forging signatures and embezzeling from the business.She was found guilty and prosecuted.I have been in the car business for 30 years.Always right here.I offer our customers the choice of new or used parts on repair.We specialize in Land Rovers.They are expensive to repair and we give our customers an option.I have hundreds of customers that I have taken care of for years and now am servicing their families.A few repeat customers have purchased as many as 15 vehicles from me.We have a cliental from some of the most prominent people in San Antonio and all over the country.

Absolutely everything you stated "Richard" not ex employee is again another lie! I am not here posting for any other reason but to alert the consumer!!! This man has gone to so many extremes, he has stolen identies of his own loved ones. These people have contacted me personnally because of their own lawsuits against this ruthless man. If one would like to verify what I am stating google his name attach the words spurs player auto fraud or check his arrests. Those reports speak a thousand words. Simply to a back hround check!
Richard we came back to you within a week of purchasing the piece of junk!! People he also has his vehicles for sale on ebay, a gentleman posted on there that he waa sold a Mercedez with roled back miles. His business name is also now listed under his secretary's name because he is not allowed to sell cars in the state of texas. If you buy a car from him you will notice it is nit his signature om the forms. People, his fraudulent practices are being watch by authorities, in no time.... Soon enough theu will build a big enough case to put this many in jail and forever out of business.
